Best Films of 2009

Best Films of 2009

Right, here we go; Talking Animal’s pick of the best of the year. Moon’s a favourite but, as unoriginal as it is to go for the big Oscar winner, Slumdog was sheer quality.

  1. Slumdog Millionaire
  2. Moon
  3. Gran Torino
  4. Timecrimes
  5. Star Trek
  6. A Serious Man
  7. Up
  8. Revolutionary Road
  9. Away We Go
  10. Let The Right One In

Where The Wild Things Are, The Good, The Bad, The Weird, Rachel Getting Married, The Reader, and Frozen River narrowly miss the list. More, everso-slightly, less vague “winners” and “losers” of the year thoughts to come.

I think my favourite must've been A Serious Man, but all in all the list suits me!
Happy New Year

Interesting list, although I am truly shocked at your number 1. It's nice to see A Serious Man geting praise though, and Moon is definately one of the best of the year.

  • Carnage review: A nicely adapted play, progressing like a fine stand-up routine, complete with substantial laughs.

  • Young Adult is showing on criminally few screens in London. Made the pilgrimage to @ritzycinema to see it. What a great venue.

  • Some top-drawer films recently released: Carnage, The Descendants, Like Crazy, Young Adult, Martha Marcy May Marlene are all 4/5

  • Chronicle review: Not entirely convincing but a nice anti-super-hero concept with a thrilling finale.

  • A tad late to the game (behind 5 million-ish people) but I found the present-day Ferris Bueller to be quite chucklesome t.co/KkI0pxVw
